HTTPS Support

When trying to access a wikiurl with https instead of http I get this error:

$ python confluence.py --wikiurl="https://confluence.mydomain.com/" ...

NotImplementedError: your version of httplib doesn't support HTTPS

Occurs with Python v2.7.8. Is there another version of httplib that I should try instead?

I've only used this script with a wiki available over HTTPS which always worked with Python 2.7 on ubuntu. Not sure that goes wrong at your end...

I've also only used HTTPS, and it works flawlessly. I notice that you're using a locally installed Python in your home directory; did you have the necessary prerequisites for SSL support enabled when you compiled?

For Ubuntu, for example, you'd need to..

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
